Abstract: Joining two waterproof laminate pieces to form welded seam (80) involves placing laminates together so that textile layers contact one another and edges (60a, 60b) of the laminates (1a, 1b) are aligned with each other to form an edge area (65); welding and pressing the edge area together to form seam between the pieces; and welding and pressing the seam together to reorient the edges of the laminates in an edge-to-edge butted orientation. Each of the laminate comprises at least a waterproof functional layer (50) laminated to a textile layer (30). The textile layer has two components. The first component is stable to a first temperature (preferably 180[deg]C) and the second component melts at a second temperature (preferably 160 - 230[deg]C) lower than the first temperature. Welding and pressing the edge area and seam is carried out at 160 - 230[deg]C, using ultrasonic energy in a continuous process.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de produire des poils de brosserie à base de polymères thermoplastiques. Lors du moulage par injection, la matière polymère fondue est injectée sous pression dans un canal formant des poils de brosserie de longueur prédéterminée et de gradient de section transversale prédéterminé sur cette longueur et le canal est ventilé pendant le processus de moulage par injection. Pour produire des poils de brosserie moulés par injection, présentant une excellente tenue en flexion, il est prévu que la hauteur de la pression d'injection soit ajustée en fonction du gradient de la section transversale du canal formant les poils de brosserie, de sorte à produire un courant de cisaillement à vitesse nucléaire élevée dans le centre de la matière polymère en cours d'écoulement et à effet de cisaillement plus important en raison de la friction sur les parois de la matière polymère fondue, avec une orientation longitudinale marquée des molécules polymères au moins dans la zone proche des parois de la matière polymère en fusion et de manière à maintenir ledit courant de cisaillement sur la longueur du canal. Il est également prévu de ventiler simultanément le canal sur sa longueur, de sorte à protéger le maintien de l'écoulement de cisaillement. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif permettant de mettre ledit procédé en oeuvre.

Abstract: A hair depilating device having a plucking assembly comprising at least two hubs, each accomodating at least one radially-extending swivel element mounted on the hub via a pin radially extending from the wall of the hub. The sidewall of the hub further includes a pinch plate, which projects radially outwardly therefrom. The radially-extending swivel element and pinch plate of a neighboring disc-like assembly define a V-shaped hair trap. The other side of the pinch plate forms a second V-shaped hair trap with a radial extension swivel element of a third opposing neighboring disc-like assembly. The opposing edges of the hair-traps at the rear end meet first, and only afterwards is the entire trap closed. This design provides a substantially reduced rotational closure distance, traveled by the hair-trap elements from the instant the trap begins to close until full trap closure. The trap closing displacement required for closure is also greatly reduced and more hairs are trapped and the plucking efficiency increased.

Abstract: The welding wire transporter moves wire over two rollers (1,8) located at the transport input and the transport outlet and revolving in opposite directions, to be taken up by a conveyor belt (a,b). Between the transport input and output are auxiliary support rollers (2-7) for the effective parts. With the transporter (A,B), an aluminum wire of a thickness of e.g. 0.5 mm can not alone be withdrawn from a storage roll with a high speed (20 meters per minute and more). This occasions a corrective effect, whereby the wire does not alone leave the transporter in an undamaged state but does achieve a satisfactory condition.
